you might be feeling a bit nervous now, but most of our kitchen assistants say they
enjoy the work. OK. they might get shouted at sometimes, but it’s nothing personal,

about (2)

Right, well, you’ve all shown up on time, which is an excellent start. Now I’m glad to
see none of you have unsuitable footwear, so that’s good - you need to be careful as
the floors can get very wet and slippery. Those of you with long hair (3)

Now it’s going to be a busy day for you all today - we don’t have get tables free for
this evening, and only a few for lunch. Fortunately, we’ve got our Head Chef back -
he was away on holiday all last week which meant the other chefs had extra work.

Now you may have heard that this can be a stressful job, and I have to say that can be
true. You’ll be (7) …………………………………………., though you’ll have the
chance to do overtime after that as well if you want to. But however long the hours
are, you’ll get a break in the middle. What you will find is that you’re (8)

You’ll find you don’t have much chance to take it easy - when someone tells you to do
something you need to do it straightaway - but at least we do have a very (9)

Now let me tell you about some of the people you need to know. So as I said. I’m Joy
Parkins and I decide who does what during the day and how long they work for. I’ll be
trying to get you to work with as many different people in the kitchen as possible, so
that you learn while you’re on the job. One person whose name you must remember is
David Field. If you injure yourself at all. even if it’s really minor, you must report to
him and he’ll make sure the

treatment to staff himself, or (11) ……………………………………………………..
Then there’s Dexter Wills - he’s the person you need to see if you smash a plate or
something like that. Don’t just leave it and hope no one will notice - it’s really
important to get things noted and replaced or there could be problems later. And
